Everyday Budget Fried Rice

I love fried rice, and it is a signature dish of the Asian cuisine. On any occasion, from a wedding, birthday party, or catering event to a office meeting, fried rice is the number one most requested item on the menu. Fried rice can be very elegant and fancy if served within an eight course meal at a wedding reception or can be very simple with just a few easily accessible ingredients. 
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked brown rice (one day old is best)
2 eggs, beaten
3 tbs olive oil
1 can of 14.5 ounce salmon
1 cup of equal amounts of diced carrots and corn
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup white onions, diced
2 shallots, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce:
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Combine sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Using a sieve, drain and break salmon into chunks with a fork. In a wok over high heat, add oil. SautĂ© white onions, shallots and garlic until fragrant. Stir-fry eggs until cooked. Add salmon and mix together. Then add some sauce to the salmon-egg mixture. Remove salmon-egg mixture from the wok. Add some oil. Stir in vegetables and cook until the vegetables are wilted. Add cooked rice and the rest of the sauce and return the salmon-egg mixture back to wok. Use a wooden spoon to spread rice all over wok creating a thin layer so the rice can be crunchy (add some oil if needed). Season again with some salt or soy sauce. Throw in the green onions and mix well. Remove from heat and serve.
